february 15.

Text:  Matthew 17:14-20:34
 
Speaker:  Richard Dahlstrom, senior pastor at Bethany Community Church (Fun fact: Bethany is listed as one of the fastest growing churches in America in 2009, according to Outreach Magazine).

Check out Richard's blog here and his two recently published books here.


Big picture: After reinforcing the importance of a community of faith, Jesus offers instruction on the life and work of this community. He expands upon the understanding of Torah and calls for a community of further humility, generosity, and forgiveness. For Jesus, Torah is not a set of rules but continually reshaping guidance for living into the kingdom of heaven.
